I'm still trying to figure out this thing. Nokia and Microsoft keep talking like they're the only ones in that "third ecosystem". "We're contributing this and they're contributing that." But in reality there are many other OEMs beside Nokia in the same ecosystem.
Nokia already pays for Microsoft's contribution in the form of licence fees. So do other manufacturers, there seems to be nothing exclusive for Nokia. With the license fee Nokia gets nothing the other ones don't get.
So what will Nokia get from it's contributions or things it gives up? How will they get compensated for contributing maps? What will they get from bringing the carrier billing contracts to the table? Ovi store to be merged with WP market place, do they get revenue from application/content sales on Nokia devices now that they give up their own revenue source? Same with Nokia music? They are giving away both what they have and what they could've had which obviously has to be weighed in when making decisions like this.
Nokia is also bringing it's scale (if there's any left when they start getting devices out especially now that Symbian sales are going to take a hit) that is one of the big things the ecosystem lacks and from which every player in the ecosystem will benefit from. What will Nokia get from bringing all this to the table relative to other manufacturers who don't?
Elop seemed to mention revenue from ads and "substantial monetary value measured in billions, not millions". Is the latter a one-off payment or a steady revenue stream or what? Anything else?

It only means that Nokia can now change the logos and wallpaper colors and such. Nothing more.

So, is there, someone from the TMO in Barcelona for the MWC 2011 event? If so, maybe he/she can keep us "live" with the events prior to the Maemo cause....

Dear Elop, The absolute last thing I want in the world is more advertising delivered to my phone. I also don't want the phone disclosing location info. Just give me a dumb TCP/IP endpoint to the internet and keep the "services" away from me. Thanks.
